Proof that Evolution Wins: Macropinna microstoma

Though not sure what this is proof of actually winning. I’m not sure what purpose the “cockpit style eyes” serve. Regardless, what a crazy sea creature. For more information on Macropinna microstoma, turn to the Wikipedia:

Macropinna microstoma is the only species of fish in the genus Macropinna, belonging to Opisthoproctidae, the barreleye family. It is recognized for a highly unusual transparent, fluid-filled dome on its head, through which the lenses of its eyes can be seen. The eyes have a barrel shape and can be rotated to point either forward or straight up, looking through the fish’s transparent dome. M. microstoma has a tiny mouth and most of its body is covered with large scales. The fish normally hangs nearly motionless in the water, at a depth of about 600 metres (2,000 ft) to 800 metres (2,600 ft), using its large fins for stability and with its eyes directed upward.
